of those scenarios below and how to reproduce them in Node-Red.
Delay an Action
Most timers are used to delay a specific action until a relative later point in time (i.e. turning off a light after a specific time interval). Node-Red has a Delay node for performing this same time of set time delay.
Block Other Actions During a Defined Time Period
Many times in Openhab when you don't want an action occurring within a certain time frame of a previous action, you do so by setting a timer in the first action and then checking if a timer is still active when a second action tries to occur. In Node-Red there are a couple of different ways to accomplish this depending on some of the nuances involved. One is to use a "Rate Limit" within a delay and telling the delay to drop any messages that come in during the delay.
You can also use the Trigger node in Node-Red. These nodes are very flexible, allowing you to send actions at the start of a time period or at the end or during both. You can also extend the triggers if certain events happen. So for example if you have a motion sensor trigger a light on and then want it to turn off after the last trigger from your motion sensor you could use a trigger as follows:
As you'll see, there are many different ways with Delays and Triggers that you can approach solving the same problem.
Logging
Logging is one of the big strengths of Node-Red. You can create immediate Debug outputs that you can see from the edit window or to File nodes to write entries to an external log file.
Notifications
While Node-RED has some addon Nodes to help support different types of notifications, I wanted to still be able to leverage some of the built in functionality of OpenHAB as well. This required setting up necessary OpenHAB items and rules to interfact into OpenHAB's functionality.
Broadcast Notifications
Through the OpenHAB Cloud Connector _URL_ you are able to use the mobile apps to both access your system and receive broadcast notifications _URL_ To integrate this into Node-RED requires an item to carry the notification information and a rule to trigger the notification.
Item Definition:
String vNotification "Notification [%s]"'
Notifications.rules:
rule "Send Notification"
when
 Item vNotification received update
then
 sendBroadcastNotification(vNotification.state.toString)
end
And finally a Node-RED flow to send the notification. Here I used a change node to create my text message:
image
image
You can also use the template node to include other payloads or topics into your notification message:
image
image
If you want to add a time stamp to your message I was able to put together the following to create a plain language time stamp (i.e. 3:32 pm)
For cut-and-paste purposes:
msg.payload = msg.payload + new Date().toLocaleTimeString('en-US',{timeZoneName: 'short'});
return msg;
Audio & Voice
OpenHAB has the ability to play audio files and convert text-to-speech: _URL_ To take advantage of this integration we follow a similar approach as we did for the Broadcast Notifications above using a combination of a custom item and a rule combined with a Node-RED flow.
First to trigger a text-to-voice (assuming you have already setup everything in OpenHAB as per above).
Item Definition:
String vSpeech
Speech.rules:
rule "Send Speech"
when
Item vSpeech received update
then
say(vSpeech.state.toString)
end
And finally a NodeRed flow to tie it together.
image
I went a step further with mine to control the volume levels during and after sending speech (turning it up while the speech is broadcast and turning it back down). So I created a sub-flow (_URL_
image
image
Similarly for sending an Audio file saved to your conf/sounds directory:
Item Definition:
String vSound
Sound.rules:
rule "Send Sound"
when
 Item vSound received update
then
 playSound(vSound.state.toString)
end
And Node-RED flow:
image
image
Email
For email you can choose to use the SendMail binding _URL_ or alternatively you can do it directly from Node-RED using the email node _URL_ The one trick I did apply here is I didn't want to configure each node instance with my smtp server information and I wanted the ability to turn on and off the ability to send email (so I didn't spam my wife when I was testing) so instead created an email subflow and a control flow.

Looks very interesting. Does Node-RED support turning flows into nodes that can be displayed in the side bar? A related question is whether a flow can be parameterized and reused by instantiating a flow with specific parameters. For example, if I have a complex flow for a type of device and I have 20 of those devices, can I create a flow component that can be reused for each device by just specifying the device-specific parameters for each device?
(Rgerrans) #3
I haven't played with them yet but Node-RED has the concept of sub-flows which are reusable flows that are treated like a node in your main flows - _URL_
(Eurico Borges) #4
You should put this info in the Wiki. not just in the forum.
(Rgerrans) #5
Which Wiki?
(Eurico Borges) #6
I was thinking on _URL_
( ) #7
Hey @rgerrans, great to see this thread after just a few days!! :wink:
@eurico_borges I'd prefer the tutorials to stay in the "Tutorials & Examples" section. This way people can discuss solutions and related problems as well as post related solutions or alternatives. The article can also be modified and updated more easily here.
However, I'd be happy to include the tutorial in the list of recommended tutorials in the second half of: _URL_
(steve1) #8
Maybe I missed something, but BigTimer doesn't seem to completely replace cron triggers since the time specifications are at the minute resolution. For higher resolution triggers (e.g., every 15 seconds) there is a cron node in Node-RED.
(Joe Lawrence) #9
Can the two rule engines co-exist??? IE Can I use both?
(Rgerrans) #10
Good catch. BigTimer looks to me to be more of an on/off timer (with minute heart beat which I find useful for resetting my schedule status following a restart). It doesn't look like it's designed to do repeat triggers. That's one nice thing about Node-RED is all the different contributed nodes.
In addition to the cron nodes, you could also just put a loop with a timed delay in your flow to cause a repeat during your on window. Like this:
Edit: Just realized this approach won't turn off. There should be a way with a trigger instead of a delay to inject an off into the flow, Will have to play with it later,
(Rgerrans) #11
Yes. I'm running mine in parallel while I transition my rules over.
In addition, I created an OH rule/virtual text item last night to be able to do a sendBroadcastNottification going forward so that I can still send notifications to the OH Mobile App once i migrate all my rules to node-RED so I anticipate still using the OH rules for at least that (I'll add it to the tutorial when I get a gap of free time).
(Joe Lawrence) #12
Thanks, you're doing exactly what I was looking to do. Always good to have extra tools!!
(Rgerrans) #13
Ok, got a chance to play some more and went with a trigger so that I could use the off from BigTimer to stop the trigger. Needed to add a slight delay otherwise it would get ahead of itself

Definitions for pericope
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word pericope
A section of text forming a coherent thought, suitable for use in a speech.
A passage of Scripture to be read in public worship or a book containing such passages.
Origin: From late Latin pericope, from Greek περικοπή 'section', from peri- + κοπή 'cutting', from κόπτειν 'to cut'.
a selection or extract from a book; especially (Theol.), a selection from the Bible, appointed to be read in the churches or used as a text for a sermon
Origin: [L., section of a book, Gr. ; peri' around + to cut.]
A pericope in rhetoric is a set of verses that forms one coherent unit or thought, suitable for public reading from a text, now usually of sacred scripture. Manuscripts, often illuminated, called Pericopes, are normally abbreviated Gospel Books only containing the sections of the Gospels required for the Masses of the liturgical year. Notable examples, both Ottonian, are the Pericopes of Henry II and the Salzburg Pericopes. Lectionaries are normally made up of pericopes containing the Epistle and Gospel readings for the liturgical year. A pericope consisting of passages from different parts of a single book, or from different books of the Bible, and linked together into a single reading is called a concatenation or composite reading.

Are you confused about when to use "taking" or "taken" in your sentences? It's a common dilemma for many English learners, but with a little knowledge, you can avoid making mistakes and sound more professional in your writing.
Let's start with the basics. "Taking" is the present participle of the verb "take," which means to hold, grasp, or receive something. On the other hand, "taken" is the past participle of "take," which means something that has been received, captured, or brought under control.
Here are some examples to help you distinguish between "taking" and "taken."
1. I am taking a shower
2. She has taken a shower
In the first example, "taking" is used because the action is ongoing, and the subject is currently in the process of taking a shower. In contrast, the second sentence uses "taken" because the subject has already completed the action of taking a shower.
Now, let's explore some other situations where "taking" or "taken" may be used.
When to use "taking"?
1. To express an ongoing activity:
"I am taking a class on literature."
2. To describe someone's behavior:
"He is taking his boss's advice."
3. To refer to medications or drugs being consumed:
"She is taking aspirin for her headache."
4. To indicate transportation:
"I am taking a taxi to the airport."
5. To define involvement or responsibility:
"I am taking responsibility for the project."
When to use "taken"?
1. To refer to the past:
"She has taken dance lessons since she was five."
2. To describe an action that has been completed:
"He has taken care of the paperwork."
3. To indicate a state of possession:
"They have taken ownership of the property."
4. To show that permission has been granted:
"I have taken permission from my boss to take a day off."
5. To show control over something:
"The police have taken the suspect into custody."
So, what are some tips that can help you use "taking" or "taken" correctly in your sentences? Here are a few suggestions:
1. Pay attention to the tense: If you're talking about something that is happening currently, use "taking." If you're discussing something that has already happened, use "taken."
2. Think about the context: Consider the situation or the event being described and choose the appropriate form of the verb.
3. Use an online grammar checker: There are several online tools available that can help you check your grammar and ensure that you're using the right form of the verb.
4. Read widely: To improve your grammar and sentence structure, read widely and pay attention to how other writers use "taking" or "taken."
Using "taking" and "taken" correctly may seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in how your writing is perceived. By following the guidelines presented here, you can avoid making mistakes and present yourself as a knowledgeable and competent writer. Happy writing!

|Title:||Evolving Possibilistic Fuzzy Modelling|
|Abstract:||This paper suggests an evolving possibilistic approach for fuzzy modelling of time-varying processes. The approach is based on an extension of the well-known possibilistic fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering and functional fuzzy rule-based modelling. Evolving possibilistic fuzzy modelling (ePFM) employs memberships and typicalities to recursively cluster data, and uses participatory learning to adapt the model structure as a stream data is input. The idea of possibilistic clustering plays a key role when the data are noisy and with outliers due to the relaxation of the restriction on membership degrees to add up unity in FCM clustering algorithm. To show the usefulness of ePFM, the approach is addressed for system identification using Box & Jenkins gas furnace data as well as time series forecasting considering the chaotic Mackey-Glass series and data produced by a synthetic time-varying process with parameter drift. The results show that ePFM is a potential candidate for nonlinear time-varying systems modelling, with comparable or better performance than alternative approaches, mainly when noise and outliers affect the data available.|

Hide the date from the taskbar in Windows 7
By default, Windows 7 displays the date next to the time in the notification area of the taskbar (system tray). This used to be the case with previous versions of Windows when you resized the taskbar to a large enough height to allow enough space to show the date, and even the day of the week. In this tutorial, we will show you how to hide the date from the Windows 7 taskbar, without having to hide the time! This means that you will keep the system clock, but only show the time, without a date.
Note that this tutorial assumes that you want to hide the date from the taskbar, but that you still want to keep the time showing in the notification area; if this is not the case, Windows 7 lets you show or hide the clock altogether, and completely remove it from the taskbar.
Show only time in taskbar, no date
To hide the date from the taskbar, follow these steps:
- Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, and choose "Properties"
- Windows 7 will open the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window
- Make sure that the Taskbar tab is selected
- When, as is the case by default, Windows 7 uses "Large Icons" in the taskbar, it makes your taskbar higher, as shown on the screenshot below:
- In the Taskbar properties window, check the "Use small icons" checkbox
- Now, click Apply to preview the change; Windows 7 will make the icons smaller, and at the same time make the taskbar itself smaller. As you noticed, the taskbar no longer displays the date, but it still displays the time:
- And, best of all, even if the date is now hidden from the taskbar, you can still see it by moving your mouse cursor above the clock, and leave it there for a second or so:
And this is all it takes to hide the date from the Windows 7 taskbar! You can at any time get the date by moving your mouse above the system clock, or by quickly resizing (temporarily) the taskbar, to get not only the date, but also the day of the week:
Tip: you can also view a full month calendar in the taskbar (instead of just a simple day or date), by giving a single click on the system clock. Some older versions of Windows used to accept a double-click, which would show the full date and time settings, but since Windows Vista you have this mini built-in calendar, right in your taskbar.up ↑

CAB offers school cost tips
A new change on the issue of school costs has been introduced in Northern Ireland which may help to ease the pressure of school costs for some working families, the Citizen Advice Bureau (CAB) has said.
School uniform grants and free school meals have been available for parents on certain benefits for some years now.
However, this school year the criteria for these have been widened to include some parents who are in receipt of Working Tax Credit (WTC).
Parents who are receiving WTC are eligible for free school meals and uniform grants if their yearly taxable income is £16,190 or less.
These new rules will only initially apply to children who were born on or after July 2, 2002, therefore children over eight years of age will not be eligible this school year.

Pimlico to Teven - Pacific Highway upgrade
Roads and Maritime Services is upgrading the Pacific Highway between Pimlico Road and Teven Road, about 2.3km in length.
Updates and announcements
Motorists were moved onto the final alignment of the Bruxner Highway in August 2015.
Work is continuing on the new Duck Creek Bridge and the old Bruxner Highway road surface is being removed.
Reduced speed limits and traffic control will be in place and motorists are advised to allow extra travel time.
Pacific Highway motorists are continuing to use the new section of road just south of Duck Creek Bridge..
Motorists are travelling on the new section for about 750 metres, which then merges back onto the existing highway alignment.
Moving traffic off the existing highway enables further soft soil treatments to be carried out south of the Duck Creek Bridge along the alignment of the existing Pacific Highway.
- Building Duck Creek Bridge
- Removing the old Bruxner Highway pavement
- Installing soft soil ground treatment north of Duck Creek
- Removing excess material that was used for the soft soil treatments south of Duck Creek
- Start building the highway south of Duck Creek
- Sheet piling, water main and pavement works around Bruxner Highway.
Traffic management and reduced speed limits will be in place where needed to ensure the safety of workers, motorists and other road users
Every effort is being made to minimise impacts on motorists, the local community and the natural environment during this important upgrade.
- Contractors: Leighton Contractors
- Form of contract: Construct only
- Start date of major construction: Nov 2013
- Completion date: by mid 2016
- Project value: $92 million
Roads and Maritime Services is upgrading the Pacific Highway between Pimlico Road and Teven Road, about 2.3km in length. This work will facilitate the next phase of the highway upgrade, which is part of the overall Woolgoolga to Ballina Pacific Highway upgrade.
This project is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments.
The Pimlico to Teven upgrade is being delivered in three stages.
Stage one was completed by the Ballina Bypass Alliance. It involved soft soil treatment along a 350m section of the Pacific Highway southbound, near the intersection with Pimlico Road.
Stage two consists of:
- Building 2.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Pacific Highway (temporary tie-ins to the existing road included)
- Building 1.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Bruxner Highway
- Realignment of 300 metres of two lane single carriageway on Pimlico Road to create a new temporary intersection with the Pacific Highway
- Building a new 117 metre long bridge over Duck Creek (Pacific Highway)
- Providing a new 173 metre bridge over Emigrant Creek South (Bruxner Highway)
- Drainage alterations and landscape works
- Providing maintenance access roads on both sides of Emigrant Creek South.
At the end of stage two work, Bruxner Highway traffic will be shifted to the final traffic arrangement, and Pacific Highway traffic shifted to the final northbound carriageways.
Stage three will involve building the final southbound carriageway along the current highway alignment. This stage will be undertaken when further funding is available.

Concrete @ your Fingertips
Friction between concrete and sub-base
Friction between the underside of a concrete slab and the sub-base will reduce the slabs capacity to move. This may result in tensile stresses that cause restraint cracking of the slab.
The expression used to calculate the force required to overcome friction is;
Ff = wu, where Ff is the frictional force, w is the weight of the slab and u is the coefficient of friction.
Typically the value of u between concrete and sub-base is 0.7. This can be improved to 0.2 by having a plastic sheet between the concrete and sub-base.

How can I randomly select a subset of logicals?
8 views (last 30 days)
Goal: I have a vector of logicals, 4203x1. These logicals correspond to trials with the conditions I want (in this example, about 48 out of 4203 are 1s, the rest are 0s). I would like to randomly downsample from these 48 to 20 to match the number of trials in another condition. How might I go about this?
Accepted Answer
James Tursa
James Tursa on 31 Mar 2020
Edited: James Tursa on 31 Mar 2020
T = your logical trials vector
n = 20; % number of trials to keep
f = find(T); % find the location of the 1's
f = f(randperm(numel(f))); % randomize the find results
T(f(n+1:end)) = false; % get rid of the other trials beyond the random 20
Or if you need to do this repeatedly for the same T, do the f = find(T) only once, then repeatedly do this
R = T;
f = f(randperm(numel(f))); % randomize the find results
R(f(n+1:end)) = false; % get rid of the other trials beyond the random 20
Alternatively, one could start with an all 0's matrix and then repeatedly randomly fill with 1's. E.g.,
R = false(size(T));
f = f(randperm(numel(f))); % randomize the find results
R(f(1:n)) = true; % randomly fill in the 1's

ETV before EMR
With the launch of electronic medical records (EMR/WakeOne) on September 22, it might be interesting to see how patient records were stored and transported in the past at the Medical Center.
The Electric Track Vehicle (ETV), dubbed "record runner" and described as an "oversized Lionel train," was the tunnel in which records were transported through the Medical Center. When installed in 1992, it saved about 10 to 15 minutes off each round trip.
Records were loaded into a "car", as shown by Dean Bates, a Medical Records file librarian, then transported. Initially, 12 cars rode the rails each day with 425 records.
Prior to the ETV, vans ferried clerks and their carts to Medical Records storage which looked like this in 1948.
Mr. Bates was featured in Around the Medical Center in 1992. Come visit Dorothy Carpenter Medical Archives to explore the history of the Medical Center in publications and artifacts.

By Dobrina Zhekova on August 25, 2020, on DEPARTURES
There is a reason it's more expensive than gold.
"Bulgarian Rose Oil is one of the most precious essential oils in the world due to its unique rich chemical composition and deep multi-layered fragrance," says Kuen Rameson, founder of Gloss Moderne, the Southern California-based clean luxury beauty brand.
While researching essential oils, Rameson came across Bulgarian Rose Oil and "fell in love with the sensorial experience." She was so impressed with its fragrance and skincare benefits that she decided to work on an entire line of beauty products formulated with it slated to launch this September.
Gloss Moderne is only one of many luxury companies such as Elizabeth Arden, Channel, Bulgari, Estée Lauder, and Christian Dior that infuse their products with what is known as "the queen of essential oils." So how did this thorny shrub make its way from the fields of a small Balkan country to our beauty drawers?
Legend has it that during one of the last Crusades, French knights who were passing through the Balkan Peninsula on their way from Syria, brought with them the fragrant Damask rose (or Rosa Damascena). Thanks to the mild climate—warmer winters and cooler summers— and sandy soils of the Kazanlak region in Bulgaria—now known as "the Rose Valley"— this oil-bearing plant found a perfect home there. Historic documents show that the local population started cultivating and distilling Rosa Damascena in the 17th century while Bulgaria was still under Ottoman rule.
"During this period, the lands with the most fertile soils were usually given to the Ottomans to grow crops such as wheat, corn, and barley, so Bulgarians had to get creative, and they started cultivating this plant [the Damask Rose] in the sandy, unfruitful soils," explained Radoslav Petkov, the deputy director of the Rose Museum in Kazanlak.
Fast forward four centuries later, and the small Balkan country that is roughly the same size as New York State and has a population of seven million, is now the largest producer of Rosa Damascena oil in the world.
Bulgarian Rose Oil also commands the highest prices on the market. In 2019, a kilogram or about 35 ounces of rose oil was worth between $8,200 and $9,400, which made it more expensive than gold. The reason for that is its quality, a lot of which is due to the way it is harvested and distilled, as well as the sheer amount of rose blooms needed for the production of oil—a kilogram requires about three tones of rose blooms.
In many ways, the way rose oil is extracted hasn't really changed in centuries. The blooms are still harvested exclusively by hand very early in the morning—from 5 am until no later than 9 AM or 10 AM.
"To get the most in terms of quantity and quality out of the blossoms, they have to be picked while the morning dew is still covering their petals. Once the sun rises and the rose blooms open up, the dew evaporates in the atmosphere, and with it goes some of the oil," adds Petkov.
For maximum results, distillation also has to occur as soon as the roses are harvested and several products result from it: rose water—widely used in the cosmetics as well as the food industries; rose concrete—orange wax-like material with a fragrant rose smell; rose absolute—extracted from rose concrete using a solvent; and rose oil—the most precious of all four that has over 280 compounds impossible to replicate artificially. All of these four byproducts are then used in fragrances, skincare, and aromatherapy products.
"I find that Bulgarian rose has a more refined lychee top note for the essential oil, even a touch dewier," said Christophe Laudamiel, the Master Perfumer of DreamAir creative studios in New York City. "For the absolute extract, it has a background that is more apricot, almost passion fruit on top and less woody or less fermented I shall say, than some other roses. A rose absolute gives a richness and opulence without being sweet nor cloying, without invading the fragrance, unless you really want to invade the fragrance with large proportions which can be sexy, too."
And while synthetic compounds are extremely popular in perfume-making nowadays, the smell of a natural ingredient such as Bulgarian Rose Oil is always preferred by perfumers.
"When you create a perfume, you want to tell a story. Usually, you add it [Bulgarian Rose Oil] because you want to do a floral perfume, like a rose perfume […] So when you do this composition, you would have some rose-like elements [already in it] but adding natural perfume, it just gives another dimension and also quality," says Nathalie Feisthauer, a Paris-based Master Perfumer. She explains that because of its high price, it's not always possible to use a lot of Bulgarian Rose Oil in commercial fragrances.
Similar to its diverse olfactory qualities, its skincare benefits are equally impressive. The Rosa Damascena essential oil has natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It is known to help soothe red or irritated skin and is appropriate to use on sensitive skin. In some anti-aging products, it is used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


How to Make a Tent in Your Bedroom
by Pilar Ethridge, Demand Media
 A bedroom tent could serve as a fort, castle, fortress or bunker in the mind of a child. That's why they provide hours and hours of fun. With just a few items that are likely already in your bedroom, you can build a tent in just a few minutes. Fortunately, this is also an activity that won't take long to clean up once you're done.
 Step 1
 Take the blankets off the bed so that you can use them as the walls of the tent. Sheets will be less useful so leaves those in place.
 Step 2
 Place a chair 3 to 5 feet away from the edge of the bed in your room. Throw a blanket over the chair and stretch one side of the blanket over the edge of the bed. If the blanket slides off, move the chair closer to the bed. The chair should create a rise, similar to the rise in a tent.
 Step 3
 Take another blanket and place one side over the same chair and the other side on the floor. Spread the blanket out so that there's room to crawl under it. Don't pull it so far that the chair falls over. Together, both blankets create the walls of the tent.
 Step 4
 Place a flashlight and snacks inside the tent. Using a flashlight, small children can read or play inside the fort for hours.

The Department for Education (DfE) and the Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) have launched the good estate management for schools (GEMS) guidance and tools, a new manual and toolkit to support schools with good estate management. The resource brings together new and existing guidance on school estate management, and it sets out the following:
- The fundamental policies and procedures needed to manage your school's estate effectively
- Guidance on strategic estate management, organisational oversight, understanding your land and buildings, energy and water management, and managing projects
- Updated guidance on health and safety, compliance and maintenance (replacing existing guidance in essential schools maintenance)
- The skills organisations need access to, links to tools and resources that can help.
The manual is broken down into the following sections:
- Strategic estate management
- Overseeing the estate
- Health and safety
- Maintaining the estate
- Understanding the land and buildings
- Energy and water management
- Estate projects.
Depending on your role, you may not need to review every section. Some sections are of particular relevance to leaders, governors and trustees of schools. Some are aimed more at school business professionals and those involved in the day-to-day management of the estate.
The manual also includes a number of tools to help you assess and manage the estate. This includes the following:
- Organisational self-assessment
- Top 10 estate checks for boards
- Required knowledge and skills

The Young Darwin Scholarship is a Field Studies Council initiative supporting young people with a real interest in the natural world and inspiring the next generation of 'Darwins'.
Applications have now closed for 2023.
#SponsorAScholar: finding the next generation of Darwins
Field Studies Council has supported over 250 Young Darwin scholars across more than a decade.
In 2023, nearly 400 young people applied for a scholarship. This included people from communities who struggle the most to access environmental education and careers. Right now, the demand for scholarships far exceeds our charitable funds.
Help us to help them.
This has all been possible thanks to previous support from Our Bright Future project (The National Lottery Community Fund), the Generation Green project (Defra and Dept Education funds), Groundworks, The Jean Jackson Trust, The Cross Hills Naturalists' Society Duncan Clough Grant, The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland, The Royal Entomological Society and individual donations.
The scholarship starts with a heavily subsidised 5-day residential trip, or series of days, at locations across the UK, with each experience centring around time outdoors in environmentally engaging spaces. During these experiences, scholars will:
- Practice a wide range of field and identification skills, observing a variety of plants, trees, invertebrates, and other wildlife.
- Gain practical observation, planning, and recording skills through a series of real-life application tasks to help with wildlife and habitat conservation and management.
- Explore a range of landscapes and learn how these areas are managed and conserved.
- Meet inspirational speakers and experts from different backgrounds to discuss current environmental issues and projects, offer advice, and answer any questions.
- Build confidence while exploring the outdoors with like-minded people who share similar interests.
"I hadn't considered that one small application would forge such a pathway through my life. The Field Studies Council Young Darwin Scholarship planted and continues to grow my passion for the environment and sustainability. I have met two of my now closest friends, and it has provided a strong link to a community of fellow young people with similar passions and interests."Previous Young Darwin Scholar
Scholars will continue to be supported for three years following their experience through a range of exclusive webinars and events, subsidised places on our natural history courses and environmental activities, all supported by a dedicated staff member.
Past scholars have continued to study natural history through university degrees and PhDs. They have secured green careers in ecology and conservation, and many are volunteering with various environmental organisations.

Share PINTEREST Email Print Divers making a confined water dive in a swimming pool. © Getty Images The Great Outdoors Scuba Diving & Snorkeling Gear Skills Safety Hiking Climbing Skiing Snowboarding Surfing Paddling Fishing Sailing Learn More By Natalie Gibb Natalie Gibb owns a dive shop in Mexico and is a PADI-certified open water scuba instructor and TDI-certified full cave diving instructor. our editorial process Natalie Gibb Updated March 17, 2017 The term confined water is used to describe a dive site at which the environment is entirely predictable and controlled. This includes acceptable visibility for the planned dive, a calm surface and an absence of strong current. Confined water sites should have easy entry and exit points, and should not have any overhang or obstruction that prevents divers from directly reaching the surface. The most common example of a confined water dive site is a swimming pool. Other typical confined water locations include a calm bay, a lake or even a man-made quarry. Confined water sites are used for skill practice and training, for testing out new dive gear, or for novice divers who would like to play in an easy environment before heading to open water. A confined water dive most often refers to training dives with the express purpose of learning, practicing, and evaluating dive skills. The PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) open water course, for example, requires students to pass five confined water dives at a variety of depths. Initially, skills are practiced in water shallow enough to stand up in, and as the student progresses, skills are practiced in deeper water. Any dive made in confined water, however, can be technically considered a confined water dive.

The Question:
Is it correct to say "the chicken salad made me nauseous," meaning that it made me feel sick to my stomach? My friend says that this would mean that it made me disgusting.
The Answer:
Your friend is not alone. A number of usage guides insist that "nauseous" can only mean "causing nausea." Week-old chicken salad would be nauseous, they say, and it makes you nauseated.
These usage guides are outdated.
The use of "nauseous" to mean "feeling sick" appears to have originated in New York City shortly after World War II. Despite the best efforts of teachers and other prescriptivists, it is now a completely standard meaning. To quote Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, "Any handbook that tells you that nauseous cannot mean 'nauseated' is out of touch with the contemporary language. In current use it seldom means anything else."
With that said, if you wish to play it safe, there is a simple set of alternatives. Use "nauseating" for things that make you sick and "nauseated" for feeling sick.

TAHLEQUAH — The Cherokee Nation held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the tribe's headquarters in Tahlequah Tuesday to celebrate the first tribal solar canopy car charging station to be built by a tribe in Oklahoma.
Cherokee Nation's new charging station is located in the main parking lot of the W.W. Keeler Tribal Complex. It is capable of charging up to eight electric vehicles and also provides about 58,000 kilowatt hours of electricity to the tribal complex each year, equivalent to the amount of electricity needed to power three or more homes.
"Embracing solar panels and adding electric vehicles to our fleet is consistent with Cherokee Nation's leadership in clean-energy usage and carbon-footprint reduction," Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker said. "Cherokee Nation is the first tribal government in Oklahoma to build and utilize a solar canopy like this. We have always been good stewards of the land, and this is another example of exceptional natural resource conservation, a legacy established by our ancestors."
Construction costs for the solar canopy totaled around $300,000 through a partnership between Cherokee Nation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The Cherokee Nation purchased its first two 100-percent electric-powered Nissan Leaf compact cars in October. The Leafs can travel about 107 miles on one charge and produce zero emissions.
Francis Renewable Energy of Tulsa was the contractor for the solar canopy charging station.
The solar canopy and addition of electric vehicles to the Cherokee Nation fleet are part of the tribe's recent initiative to reduce carbon emissions.


Home Jobs & Education What Is the Average Mortician Salary?
According to official government statistics provided by the BLS (the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S), the average mortician salary for the fiscal year of 2014 was $52,550 per year or $25.25 per hour. The profession, also known as that of a funeral service worker, requires an Associate's degree and has an average job outlook.
The mortician job is, therefore, higher paid than many US occupations featured in the BLS occupational handbook. However, some morticians and funeral workers receive a significantly lower pay for their job. The lowest paid 10% in this line of work receive just $25,910 per year, equaling to a mere $12.46 per hour. On the other end of the spectrum of reference for this occupation, the highest paid 10 points percentile get an average mortician salary of $83,520 or $40,16 per hour.
There isn't enough data to adequately say much about wage equality within this profession. As of 2014, there were only 60,400 people employed in the general area of funeral managing and death care. Of these 60,400, just 23,000 were morticians. Of the 23 thousand, 17 thousand were men, while 7,000 were women. Funeral workers and morticians are generally employed in the following two areas. As you can see, the salary of a mortician does vary a lot between them:
Industry Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Federal Executive Branch (OES Designation) $34.77 $72,320
Death Care Services $24.94 $51,870
"mortician salary salary of a mortician average salary of a mortician average mortician salary"
A mortician makes arrangements for the funeral and takes care of the deceased.
What Is the Average Mortician Salary by Location
Depending on the location where he or she is employed, the salary of a mortician may vary very much. Furthermore, the levels of employment for this job tend to vary greatly depending on each State. While salary varies depending on how many people employ the services of morticians in the respective area, the general price-tag for a specific area also comes into play.
Here's a list of the States which pay their mortician salaries the most in terms of the annual mean wage:
State Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Delaware $34.12 $70,970
Illinois $33.91 $70,530
New Jersey $33.80 $70,310
Rhode Island $33.74 $70,190
Nebraska $29.57 $61,510
Still, wage can be equally important as the specific level of employment. A mortician practicing his skills in Delaware might have a very hard time finding a job, even though the mortician salary is the highest out of all the US. That's because the whole state has just 80 mortician jobs available. Here's a table to indicate the best states in terms of employment:
State Employment Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Texas 1,940 $24.11 $50,140
Ohio 1,500 $24.83 $51,650
California 1,490 $22.71 $47,230
New York 1,460 $25.26 $52,540
Florida 1,250 $25.74 $53,540
Average Mortician Salary Change over Time
Given that the mortician job is seen as a hereditary line of work, parents usually pass on their trade to their kids once they reach an appropriate age. This means that most employees who begin work in this job line so early already know the skills they need to earn a decent wage. Here are the factors that influence the average mortician salary over time, according to PayScale:
 - Entry-level employees can earn up to 17% lower than the national average while mid-career employees earn just 5% more.
 - Experienced mortician will earn a mortician salary up to 23% bigger than the national average.
 - Late-career morticians may earn less than experienced morticians, but still 20% more than the average.

Fruits after weathering moisture retain their beneficial properties. They increase the concentration of sugar and vitamins. Dried peaches - a good snack and filler for winter compote. Fresh ripe fruits are made from candied fruits, chips, pastila. They are dried in an electric dryer, oven, on the windowsill. To store the finished product does not need much space, but the daily consumption of fruit fills up the required amount of vitamins.
Peach Drying Specific
Peaches are very juicy, so over-ripe fruit cannot be used for drying. For harvesting fit both flat and fig fruits. Collecting fruit from the tree allows you to get a high quality product. The fruit should not be broken places, wormholes and rot. Before drying, they must be prepared.
 1. Fruits are well washed. Excess moisture is removed with a paper towel or napkin.

From Ohio History Central
Mineral specimens are not so nearly widespread in Ohio as are fossil specimens, but many areas of the state produce interesting minerals. Many of the best specimens of mineral crystals from Ohio have come from limestone and dolomite quarries in northwestern Ohio. Unfortunately for the collector, most of these quarries are now closed to collectors because of safety and legal considerations. Always OBTAIN PERMISSION before collecting on private property. The book, Minerals of Ohio, available from the Division of Geological Survey of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, is an excellent guide to identification, occurrence, and collecting information on minerals in Ohio.

How do you reheat corn on the cob?
How to Reheat Corn on the Cob in the Microwave
 1. Place the corn on a microwave-safe dish.
 2. Cover the corn with either a damp towel or plastic wrap.
 3. Set the timer for 10-20 second bursts — this willensurethe corn doesn't just pop (and by the way you won't getpopcornfrom pre-cooked corn).
 4. Reheat until the corn is warm.


Two Pointer technique in Java
What is Two pointer technique?
A two pointer technique is a technique where given a sorted array we have two starting points or two points of consideration as they both move towards the middle of the array being iterated over, the two pointer technique is a useful tool to utilize when searching for pairs in a sorted array. Although not it's only use case, when used this technique can save both time and space complexity.
when iterating through the data in a linear fashion we usually have a single entry point and we move through the data in one direction.
Given a sorted array we need to find the pair of number which sums up to the given number x.
Approach 1: Brute Force Solution
In the brute force solution of the problem we use a loop within a loop to iterate over all of the elements in the array, forming every possible pair combination and having the time complexity of O(n^2)
This approach takes too much time to run, which can further be optimized to run in O(n) time complexity.
Approach 2: Two Pointer Solution
Now let's look how the two pointer solution works and gives a better time complexity than brute force solution,
We take two pointers one which points to the first element(low) and one which points to the last element(high) of the array now according to the problem statement given we add the last and the first values together and check if the sum matches with the provided sum (x) if the computed sum is less than the given sum(x) then we increment the low pointer and if the sum is greater the given sum(x) we decrement the high pointer, we do this till we get the desired sum or the low > high.
Boolean pairSum(int Arr[], int n, int x)
// represents first pointer
int low = 0;
// represents second pointer
int high = n - 1;
while (low < high) {
// If we find a pair
if (Arr[low] + Arr[high] == x)
return true;
// If sum of elements at current
// pointers is less, we move towards
// higher values by doing low++
else if (Arr[low] + Arr[high] < x)
// If sum of elements at current
// pointers is more, we move towards
// lower values by doing high--
return false;
For this algorithm to work effectively we assume that we are given a sorted array and we move the pointers toward the center of the array so we do not miss any pair and we move one pointer only if the above conditions are met so that no pair is left untouched and every pair is checked once.

Texas is apparently a notorious spot for seekers of buried treasure.
It's often rumored that across the Lone Star State, around $340 million is buried, just waiting for a few lucky individuals to strike paydirt.
Some of those riches are rumored to lay in South Padre Island, having been buried in the late 19th century by a man named John Singer.
Singer and his family arrived at the island in 1847, looking to create a better life, and that they did. Their shipping business, as South Padre Island was a major port, grew immensely, and Singer was able to accumulate around $80,000, which at that time was an incredible amount of money.
To keep it safe, he buried the money, along with some silver bars and Spanish coins, in a large sand dune, which he aptly called "Money Hill."
As Union sympathizers, they were forced off the island during the Civil War. When Singer returned to try and find his riches, he never could.
They are rumored to remain buried somewhere on South Padre Island, now valued to be around $3 million!
According to Lone Star Treasure, Singer eventually passed away, in poverty, in Mississippi in 1877.
So if traveling abroad is too expensive this summer, why not a staycation to South Padre Island? It could be VERY worth your while!

Keywords: [ Kernel Methods ] [ change point analysis ] [ nonparametric ]
We study the change point problem that considers alterations in the conditional distribution of an inferential target on a set of covariates. This paired data scenario is in contrast to the standard setting where a sequentially observed variable is analyzed for potential changes in the marginal distribution. We propose new methodology for solving this problem, by starting from a simpler task that analyzes changes in conditional expectation, and generalizing the tools developed for that task to conditional distributions. Large sample properties of the proposed statistics are derived. In empirical studies, we illustrate the performance of the proposed method against baselines adapted from existing tools. Two real data applications are presented to demonstrate its potential.


text: Lactation curves are one of the basic tools in animal breeding. Therefore, modeling lactation curves with appropriate and precise equations are of great importance for obtaining estimates. Lactation curves have different tendencies in different breeds. To examine the tendencies and differences Jersey (J), Brown Swiss (BS) and Holstein Friesian (HF) breeds which are commonly raised in Turkey were used in this study. This study aimed to statistically determine the optimal position and number of knots in cubic spline regression used for modeling lactation curves. Knots were taken as 60, 90, 120 and 150 days and combinations of them for every breed. To compare the Mean Square Errors (MSE) of the models, the autocorrelation values of Durbin Watson (DW), the information criteria of Akaike (AIC) and the coefficient of determination (R2) were used as comparison criteria. Kruskal Wallis H test was used to compare comparison criteria in different models. The Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the groups in pairs. Results showed that four knots was sufficient for J breed MSE: 0.640 ± 0.0652, DW: 2.272 ± 0.0232, AIC: 16.927 ± 1.0649, R2: 0.982 ± 0.0020) and BS breed (MSE: 0.131 ± 0.0156, DW: 2.326 ± 0.1093, AIC: 3.567 ± 0.9193, R2: 0,985 ± 0.0008), but three knot was sufficient for HF breed (MSE: 1.600 ± 0.132, DW: 2.114 ± 0.020, AIC: 22.596 ± 0.783, R2: 0.972 ± 0.002). As a general result of the study show that four knots (60, 90, 120 and 150 days) for J and BS breeds and three knots (90, 120 and 150 days) for HF breed were sufficient to estimate lactation curve by cubic spline regression model.

- Imperial Horse Graveyard
Near the retired Horse Stables was their graveyard:
The old horses are allowed to walk about in the meadow during summer. On the other side of the stable is a burial ground where a row of marble slabs mark the resting places of the favorite horses. Here lies "Ami" the horse that was with the Emperor Alexander I in Paris; "Flora", the horse that carried the Emperor Nicholas at Varna; and "Cob" the horse, which the late Tsar Alexander III used to ride, when he reviewed his troops.

text: This paper presents a numerical investigation of the hydrodynamic performance of a modified sandglass-type FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) with different geometrical parameters. The influence of the roll damping plate on heave and pitch motions of the FPSO was studied in regular waves. To estimate the hydrodynamic performance and utilize the results on the design stage of the FPSO, the boundary element method (BEM) was used. Furthermore, the hydrodynamic performance of two cylindrical and sandglass-type FPSOs under the same conditions was compared in different waves. Five sandglass-type FPSOs with dissimilar inclination angles were utilized with the constant draft. The effects of different inclination angles, including various radii of water-plane part of the floating object on hydrodynamic responses and wave forces applied to the FPSO, were investigated, and presented here. Numerical results were compared against published experimental data of a sandglass-type model, and good agreement was achieved. Based on the simulation results, a conclusion that a sandglass-type FPSO with the inclination angle of 35 degrees proposes proper hydrodynamic performance in both heave and pitch motions for all ranges of wave frequencies was reached. In addition, as it was predicted, the effect of heading sea on a sandglass-type FPSO was significant compared to other wave directions. Finally, by adding a damper plate to the floor of the platform, its hydrodynamic performance is improved. For numerical analysis of the modified FPSO, three different damper sizes are used to investigate its effect on the reduction of the pitch motion amplitude in waves.

Habbes - what does Habbes surname mean?
Recorded in many forms including Habbert, Happert, Hobbert, Hobart, Hobbart, Habert, Happel, Hadeke, Habbema, Hobbema, Hapke, Hatje, Hablet, Hablot, Habbes, Haps, Habben, Hobben, Hobbing, and Hubbard, this ancient surname can only be described as 'European'. It derives from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Hugibert or Hubert, itself a compound of the elements 'hug' meaning 'heart', and 'beorht' - bright or famous, a translation which no doubt contributed to its early popularity. The name was probably introduced in Britain by the Saxon invaders of the 8th century, although its first known recording would seem to be that of 'Eudo filius Huberti' (Eudo, son of Hubert) in the Domesday Book of 1086. This was not of course a surname, the first of these being Roger Hubert, who appears in the 1199 Fine Court Rolls of Northumberland, whilst other examples of the recordings include William Hobard of Suffolk in 1291, John Hobart also of Suffolk in 1346, whilst Pastor John Hubbard who embarked from London on 17th April 1635, bound for Virginia was one of the early settlers in the New England colonies. He was also one of the first students at the fledgling Harvard University, of which in 1688, he became President. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger Hubard, which was dated 1327, in the Subsidy Rolls of Somerset, during the reign of King Edward 111, known as the Father of the Navy, 1327 - 1377. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

<![CDATA[Solving the "Too Many Redirects" Error with Cloudflare and Certbot]]> _URL_ 2023-11-16T16:59:06.000Z Introduction
Recently, I purchased a new domain through Cloudflare and set up DNS to point to an app on my server. However, when I tried to access the domain, I was met with a "too many redirects" error.
Understanding the Issue
After some troubleshooting, I discovered the root cause of the problem.
By default, Cloudflare's DNS SSL/TLS encryption mode is set to Flexible. However, I had already installed SSL certificates on my server using certbot. This discrepancy led to an issue where both my server and Cloudflare were attempting to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS, resulting in a redirect loop.
The Solution
To resolve this, I navigated to Cloudflare's SSL/TLS settings and switched the encryption mode from Flexible to Full. This immediately rectified the problem. It's worth noting that the other options Full (Strict) and Off, along with the default Flexible, were not suitable for my setup.
Steps to Configure SSL/TLS on Cloudflare
Here are the steps to adjust your SSL/TLS settings on Cloudflare:
 1. Log in to your Cloudflare account.
 2. Navigate to the domain experiencing issues.
 3. Click on the SSL/TLS tab.
 4. In the Overview section, you'll find the SSL/TLS encryption mode. Select Full.
By setting the SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full, you're telling Cloudflare to connect to your origin server using HTTPS because it expects your server to have an SSL certificate.
Understanding Cloudflare's SSL/TLS Encryption Modes
Cloudflare offers four SSL/TLS encryption modes, each serving a different purpose based on your server's configuration and your specific needs. Here's what each option does:
 1. Off: When this mode is selected, no SSL is applied to your traffic, and all connections are served over HTTP. This is not recommended for most sites, especially those handling sensitive data, as it does not provide any encryption or security.
 2. Flexible: In this mode, traffic between your site's visitors and Cloudflare is secured, but traffic between Cloudflare and your server is not. This means that data is not encrypted for the entire journey and could be exposed if your server is compromised. This option is generally used when the server doesn't have an SSL certificate installed.
 3. Full: This mode secures traffic between both your site's visitors and Cloudflare, and between Cloudflare and your server. However, it doesn't verify the certificate on your server, meaning it will accept any SSL certificate, even if it's expired or issued by an unrecognized certificate authority. This is a good option if you have an SSL certificate on your server but it's not from a recognized authority.
 4. Full (Strict): This is the most secure option. It works similarly to the "Full" mode but also verifies the certificate on your server. This means that the SSL certificate on your server must be valid and issued by a recognized certificate authority. This option provides the highest level of security and is recommended if your server is equipped with a valid SSL certificate.
When using Cloudflare with a server configured for HTTPS (for example, when you've deployed certificates on your server using Certbot), it's advisable to use either the "Full" or "Full (Strict)" mode. This ensures that the traffic is encrypted throughout its entire journey, from the visitor's browser to your server, providing a secure and smooth browsing experience for your users.
Conclusion
In this article, we've seen how to solve the too many redirects error when using Cloudflare with Certbot. We've also seen how to configure SSL/TLS encryption modes on Cloudflare.
